A few days after posting about the lack of snow and now the entire country is covered in the stuff. Record snow fall in Vancouver has paralyzed the airport, there are snow storm warnings from coast to coast, Montreal is 3 feet deep and it's still falling. Experts say Canada is seeing it's first white christmas is almost 40 years.
Well, now.
